“This program, in my opinion, is one of the best internships in the area. Located in a teaching hospital, there are so many opportunities to learn, ask questions, and to grow as a professional. Over the course of this year I have learned more than I could have imagined at the start of the program.” - N. Rezac, Medical Nutrition Class of 2014
